I am also disappointed not to see any AMT on offer. It would have been perfect for me with AMT option.

About Screen size, I think 5 inch is good enough size.
It is good enough to serve screen for reverse parking.
Having a big screen surely add luxury, but there are many negatives too..

1. It is a big distraction if something is been played on screen and someone is driving.. Bigger the screen, bigger the distraction. Also, bright screen reflection is clearly visible dashboard.

Anyone who needs entertainment on board, carry a iPad and sit in rear seats.. problem solved. Surely you can do a lot more in iPad/Tablet...

2. Also, in order to place big screens, car designer push AC vents to sides, that are supposed to be in middle to provide better cooling for rear passengers.

3. Not sure how easy and precise it is do control a infotainment system with touch controls for a someone especially while driving the car.

Dont judge me.. Just buy tablet along with new car.. You cant carry great speakers all the time(and thats when 8 Harmon speaker will come to use), but can always carry great display units..

Very well said. Exactly my point. And you can get accustomed to buttons and use them sometimes without even seeing them but touchscreen requires some concentration. Its a distraction for sure and breaks the whole layout. Also for a car of this size 5inch squarish screen is the best match.

TATA is betting big on petrols. Just by looking at numbers, people will be tempted to checkout the petrols first.

Not surprising though. With all the negative promotion diesel got over the past couple of years.

Same here but no dealer in my city from last one year. Not even in next around 100 kms

Tata you missing lot of sales here which once was the best city of Tata PV sales in entire North India after Delhi-NCR and now one of the highest selling city for Xenon.

Act before you loose it to Hyundai and Suzuki as almost all the dealerships are serving in the same city except JLR and Mercedes.

I too received call in less than a minute... but of no use.. I received call from centralized call center. The person was not authorized to share much details and encouraged me to visit nearest showroom.

LED taillights and projector headlights, though Zest too has it, plus Tigor comes with 3 headrest at rear (though centre one is mini), full roof running HMSL (I guess it can be included).

I get the impression that Petrol version has R15 wheels whereas Diesel R14? What is the reason behind that?[confused]

The front end of the X0 platform is heavy is in the Indica and the diesel engine is iron block and not aluminium. That caused a lot of forces on the front tyres. So the stuck to 14" high profile tyres that have around 113mm of side wall. Also they caused a rim bend in the initial years of Indica and Indigo cars and later models had high profile tyres.

Petrol uses an aluminium engobe that is relatively lighter and they could use 15" wheels with lower profile of around 103mm.

That is why they could not five 15" on the diesel.

I noticed nose dip in my Tiago Diesel under very hard braking conditions.

But actual reason is cost-cutting and going by diesel Tiago demand (23% of total), TATA is giving more preference to Petrol.
